i don't think i'd pick my heads based on a $120 set of pushrods. my advice would be buy the best set of heads you can afford and set up the valve train accordingly

i wouldnt make my purchasing decision around the length of your pushrods. after you install aftermarket heads you should use a pushrod length checker and buy the appropriate size pushrod. The 1.8 rockers should fit whatever head you chose, but i dont know if they're the best choice with a high performance cam that aftermarket heads would benefit from. A lot of cam companies dont seem to recommend them

The pushrods should be the LAST part of your valvetrain that you order. They take no time at all to install, and finding the correct length is dependent on the rest of your valvetrain setup.

As said pushrod length should be measured with the engine assembled to obtain proper preload on the lifters which IIRC is about .080". Its gotta be right, too much or too little will make your life hell and you will be making threads like crazy asking whats wrong with it

Bottom line as some have said is talk to people and put together the best package within your budget. After it's all together, then and only then measure for the length pushrods you need. Pushrod diameter is also something to consider, again dependent on your setup and useage.

Come on now. Someone is going to read this and get the wrong idea. Pushrod length is dependent on a number of different factors. Heads, mill on those heads, head gasket thickness, cam base circle, type of lifters, rockers.
